Re: Inkscape can be extremely frustrating

Hi, Sam:

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.  I must have messed
up the Circle tool some how, so I just deleted the whole program and
re-installed it again.  Then it worked the way it was suppose to.  But I
still needed help to get the Line to show up.  That was a good video; just
wished they added narration (would have made it a little easier).
Do you know of any way to save settings ?  They always seem to divert back
to the way they were.  This is a great software program once one really
learns how to use it.
